INGREDIENTS

6.25 oz baby back pork ribs

1 tsp smoked paprika

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp onion powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp tomato paste

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp honey

1 tsp coconut aminos

1 cup shredded green cabbage

0.5 tbsp apple cider vinegar

0.25 tsp celery seed

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your smoker to 225°F using hickory or applewood chips for a clean, smoky flavor profile.

• 2

  Remove the thin membrane from the back of the baby back ribs to ensure the spice rub penetrates the meat effectively.

• 3

  In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Coat the ribs evenly with the spice rub and place them in the smoker for approximately 3 hours.

• 5

  While the ribs smoke, whisk together the tomato paste, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, honey, and coconut aminos to create the tangy glaze.

• 6

  Brush the glaze onto the ribs during the final 30 minutes of cooking until the surface is tacky and caramelized.

• 7

  Toss the shredded cabbage with the remaining apple cider vinegar and celery seed to create a crisp, refreshing side slaw.

• 8

  Let the ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing to keep the juices locked inside for a tender finish.
